Thanks for he replies .
One last question . If I do try this the direction of disc/wheel rotation will be reversed , can anyone see and problems that this could create with the pads , wheel bearings etc .

Thanks for the replies . I think I will try this pipe on my standard motor and I'll report back with how it goes .
Can I ask another question of the knowledgable members . Here in Australia I have access to what we call E85 fuel ( a type of race fuel , Ethanol /petrol blend ) . In the research I have done it mentions that the fuel systems of any vehicle using E85 has to be compatible for E85 otherwise damage to non- compatable fuel system components may occur . What does that mean and what components in the fuel system may not be compatible ?

I own a few Aerox's and Im currently building up a project bike . some of the parts that I was originally going to use on my project bike have been superseded with bigger and better stuff . I have a standard Aerox that has had no modifications , and I am contemplating putting this Arrow pipe on it that I was going to use on my project build , but is now not required for that build . My question is . With the standard motor/cylinder and this pipe , is there any performance advantage to getting a bigger Carb , or is re-jetting the factory Carb my best option ? Is there nothing to be gained by increasing the Carb size with the standard motor ? Im interested in seeing what performance improvements I can get out of a standard motor with nothing more than Pipe and Carb changes . Ken

Thanks for the replies . The fender issue is a no issue for me because remember this bike is a race - drag - fun bike and was never going to have a fender anyway . The hose out the front I can live with , if it gets damaged then I suspect I will have bigger problems to deal with The looks dont worry me . It isn't going to have a speedo , so thats not a problem . But I have a nagging doubt as to the strenght - engineering of reversing what very qualified engineers and designers created at the factory . Ken

Just a quick question that hopefully the knowledgable members may be able to help me with . The front Disc Caliper position on my Aerox is like most others - its behind the left fork leg . Is there a engineering reason why the Caliper is behind the fork and not in front of it ? On my General Grievous Aerox build I'm trying to lower and increase the wheelbase of the bike . If I was to swap the forks around and position Caliper on the front of the fork leg I would get an immediate lowering and lengthening of the bike due to the axle position on the lower fork leg . It would mean the brake is now on the right instead of the left but that wouldnt cause any headaches for me . Is there a reason That I shouldnt do this ? This is how the standard setup is This is what I'm proposing if you can imagine the wheel and Caliper in place . Ken

I guess the thing is here they are only really ridden buy 16 year olds. who have no clue about maintenance, and no mechanical ability. I would also add no riding ability , all four of mine show signs of road rash and damage . Ken

Update -
Spent the day at home doing Scooter stuff . Photo bucket seems to have packed a sad so I don't have any pics but the new Scoot has turned into a thousand pieces and it's happy days at my house at the moment .

Been there, done that. Tried to have a Jog sent over from England. It made it here to the states but was rejected because I only had the frame and a few other bits sent, but not the lights so the department of transportation rejected it. Long story short, I could have gotten it in but I had to send it back first because they wouldn't let it stay. Needless to say I just couldn't afford it. Couldn't justify it either and it was one of my costliest mistakes. Thats interesting . I've had a few people contact me about shipping Aerox parts to the USA and I'm happy to help if I can , but maybe they had better do some homework to see if its legally possible before money and time gets wasted . Ken . PS - Do I understand what you wrote correctly , the problem you had was you imported parts not a whole bike ?

lol those things are non existent here so when you say that beautiful thing is about to become parts, I want to shed a tear or two EDIT: I literally paid 860 dollars for just a motor and wheels with shipping. The motor didn't even have a top end. So yeah, you scored big time. I wonder how much shipping is from Australia ? You can buy a reasonable Aerox here for $1000 - $2000 Australian dollars ( current exchange rate $800 - $1600 US ) That is for a fully functional road going Scooter that will start everytime and get you to where you want to be . I wonder what the transport cost to the USA would be ? Ken
